Folks, I need to replace the product activation code on Project professional 2019. Do you have some idea without having to remove and reinstall the application?
Do you have Microsoft volume licensing for Project? Does your organization use a Key Management Server (KMS)? If so, you can likely execute an activation request to KMS via an action in Bigfix.
Yes, I have a product license number for computer labs.
Does your organization leverage a KMS server? If so, you could point your clients to it to do your activation.
This is an example of prompting a Windows OS to activate via license manager tool (slmgr.vbs):
wait cmd /C cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
Note that this assumes KMS is properly installed, populated with your organizations keys, and the proper service records have been registered in your organization’s DNS.
Thanks for this help. The issue is with activating Microsoft Project Professional 2019 with the activation code. I found a Microsoft article that suggests using this command.
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx contoso1
Then just add that into a custom task to execute. Something like:
wait cmd /C cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx contoso1
